Welcome to Steve's Antique Technology. I am a collector of old technology, antique vacuum tube radios &
vintage transistor radios, electronic test equipment & tube testers, soldering irons & soldering guns, and vintage record players.
I also collect and maintain an extensive library of Original Factory Service Manuals and SAMs Photofact Service Manuals from the 1920s through the 1960s.

This site contains over 2,000 files, photos, and pages. If at any time you get lost, try using the Site Search or the Sitemap link located at the bottom left of most pages.

Here you will find pictures and information on some of the following in my collections:

Vintage Test Equipment Collection
My vintage test equipment collection is by far the largest and most popular category on this site and the main focus of my collection.
It includes the special sections listed below.

Soldering Irons, Guns, and Tools
Over the years I've accumulated quite a few antique soldering irons and tools, so many in fact that they now have their own section.
Here you will find examples of early soldering irons and guns, vintage soldering stations, tools, and history.

I also operate antique radio related sites offering an extensive library of downloadable factory service manuals and schematics, SAMS Photofacts,
car radio diagrams, and links to additional radio and test equipment collecting resources:

AntiqueRadioSchematics.org offers a large selection of manufacturer's original factory service manuals and schematics for hundreds of
makes and models of antique tube and vintage transistor radios.

"The Schematic Man" web site supplies original SAMS Photofact service folders via U.S. Mail and
high resolution Photofact downloads at a fraction of the cost from the publisher. It also includes an easy to use on-line alphabetical index for finding the Photofact folder number for your model.

AutoRadioSchematics.comIf you restore antique and classic cars this site allows you to find
that elusive car radio schematic without having to search through thousands of non-auto radio service manuals.
